[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 1345415, member: 12570"] Yes, it we have packages over 70 lbs we are contractually allowed to request help from a fellow hourly. The reality is it would be more hassle than it is worth---the driver on the other route has to break off, which puts him that much further behind----and most of us just "man up" and move the package ourselves. I had a 128 lb pkg of RTA furniture that was going to a 2nd floor apartment. The box, which was slightly open when it was loaded, had started to fall apart, although the contents were intact. Try as I might, I was unable to "get it up" the stairs. Thankfully there was a bystander who offered to help and we got it up to their front door. He was amazed that we are required to handle these packages by ourselves. The next day I had the same package again (I think it was a duplicate order) but this one was in one piece and I was able to deliver it by myself. [/QUOTE]
